Who is Daiki?
Hello! I am a multilingual professional with experience in graphic design, ESG consulting, and DEI strategy. I am based in Beijing, pursuing a Master’s degree at Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar.
Since my childhood, I have believed in the power of “paying it forward” and have enjoyed giving back to the community.
Combining my passions in graphic design, I started helping non-profit organizations with their visual storytelling when I was in college. Later on, I started working as a freelance designer.
I have worked with more than ten non-profit organizations, B-corps, and social enterprises.

The only thing I would have him change about himself is his inability to work with our office longer, as he possesses a diverse skillset and unmatched dedication I have not seen the likes of before…”
